Description

Multifunctional device for the treatment of hair.

The invention relates to a multifunctional equipment for treating hair according to the preamble of claim 1. By US-A-
3 727 322 a team like this is known.

For the treatment of hair, for example, realization of permanent, dyeing, drying, etc., the hairdresser you need different equipment, since a large number of equipment It requires a lot of space in a hairdressing salon. Developments more recent show that hairdressing salons are every time smaller, that is, less surface is available for placement of the different teams. Also, so far a hairdresser could only use a team constructively independent for a specific hair treatment, remaining equipment remaining unused somewhere in the  hairdressing salon

This is where the invention wants to provide help. The invention, as noted in the claims, solve the task of creating a multifunctional team for hair treatment, combining in the same team several different partial devices for different treatments of hair.

The advantages obtained thanks to the invention can be seen fundamentally in that with the equipment shown much less space is needed in a hairdressing salon that until now, and in which during a specific treatment of hair, equipment for other specific treatments that are not They use do not remain useless somewhere.

Next, it is explained in more detail, to by way of example, an example of embodiment of the invention by middle of the drawings. The different figures show:

Fig. 1 a projecting arm section with a treatment head section, articulated coupling the protruding arm section in a housing, partially shown in section;

Fig. 2 a device configured according to the invention in a first configuration;

Fig. 3 the equipment according to figure 2 in a second setting;

Fig. 6 a bottom view on a support cancel, including infrared radiation emitters and lamps reading;

Fig. 7 a representation of the head face supply that contains the connections for the hoses, Y

Fig. 8 a simplified representation of the two-piece projecting arm section in open state.

The multifunctional equipment presents a piece of support column 1. This piece of support column is attached to a mobile frame 2 with rollers, the arm showing a frame of support 3 and two adjustable casters 4, 5 by means of the which team is supported on the ground 6, for example, of a hairdressing salon In total there are two support arms and Four rollers like these. In this case, the horizontal distance between the two support arms is so large that between the arms a chair can be arranged for the person whose hair It has to be treated.

The comparison between figures 2 and 3 shows that the piece of support columns 1 can be adjusted longitudinally, so that the height can be varied by the same supported components of the equipment.

A housing 7 is attached to the column piece of support 1. In this housing 7 it is articulated a projecting arm section 8 that ends in a section of treatment head 12.

A device 9 is arranged in the housing 7 for the generation of hot air. Devices like this are know in general and therefore a description is not necessary Detailed of this device 9. Just mention that the hot air transport is done by means of a wheel turbine 10.

In addition, a device is provided in the housing 7 11 for steam generation. This device 11 for the steam generation has a water tank 13 in which it is arranged an ultrasonic sprayer 14 with a type of known construction. An ultrasonic sprayer has a membrane that vibrates at a high frequency, producing a water evaporation due to high oscillations frequency.

The treatment head section 12 that is arranged at the free end of the projecting arm section 8 articulated in the housing 7, it has a head supply 15 that communicates in general with the two devices cited 9, 11.

This supply head can rotate between two final positions as will be described later.

Supply head 15 presents on one side 16 a diffuser section with outlet holes 17 for a respective hair treatment medium that comes from, at less, one of the devices 9, 10.

On the other side 18 opposite the aforementioned face 16, the supply head has a series of tubing 19 that is represented in simplified form in figures 1-4 by short stripes These tubing 19 are attached to tubes of supply 20 for at least one medium that comes from the devices 9, 11. These supply tubes 20 are determined for binding to, for example, ventilated rollers that are known in general and therefore it is not necessary to describe with more detail.

The outgoing arm section 8 is configured in two pieces. It is specially configured for reception and for supplying the supply tubes 20 when these They are not working.

For this purpose, the outgoing arm section 8 has a lower section of receiving container 21 with bucket shape (see also figure 8) that is attached so articulated in the housing 7. In this container section of reception 21 is also articulatedly coupled a section of closing cover 22 forming a part of the arm section protrusion 8. The closing cover section 22 supports in its free end a hood section 23. The cover section of closure 22 can pivot, as shown in the figures, between an opening position and a closing position, covering the hood section 23 in the closed position, the head of supply 15.

From device 9 for air generation hot extends a piece of hot air tube 24 that lodges in the outgoing arm section 8 and ends in the treatment head section 12, so that a connection with supply head 15.

Now, this supply head 15 is supported by rotating shape on this piece of hot air tube 24. Also, the hot air tube part 24 presents in the area of the supply head 15, a bottom outlet hole 25.

The end of the hot air pipe piece 24 is closed and the final areas of the supply head 15 are waterproofed against the piece of hot air pipe 24.

If now the supply head 15 supported by swivel shape on the hot air tube part 24 se found in the final position drawn in figures 1, 2 and 4, the pipes 19 and respectively the supply tubes 20 communicate with device 9 for hot air generation, so that the curlers attached to the supply tubes 20 and, by consequently, the hair curled in the curlers can be ventilated. In this case, the connection on the face 16 of the supply head 15 to the exit holes 17 is blocked.

If the supply head 15 is rotated in the final position shown in figure 3, the exit holes 17 are communicated with the device 9 for the generation of hot air, so that ventilation can be carried out of the whole head of the respective person by air hot, it should be mentioned that it is obviously possible to regulate hot air temperature

In this position of the supply head 15, they can feed the supply tubes 20.

In figure 8 it is represented simplified a part of the projecting arm section 8. This presents a lower section, the container section of cuvette-shaped reception 21, which is coupled so articulated in the housing 7. In this container section of reception 21 the hot air tube part 24 is developed in which the supply head 15 is rotatably supported. In the receiving container section 21 it is coupled so articulated closing cover section 22 which also forms part of the projecting arm section 8 and which is attached to the hood section 23.

Assume now that supply head 15 it is in the position according to figure 1 in which the downward-facing pipes 19 are in operation with the supply tubes 20 that are attached to the curlers.

Now it's about putting the 19 outlets operating on face 16 of supply head 15 with the outlet holes 17 in operation.

For this, the support column piece 1 is moves up, so that it is in the position according to figure 2; in this respect compare with figures 3 and Four.

The closing cover section 22 tilts towards top with cap section 23. This position is represented with dots and stripes in figure 2. Next, the head of supply 15, with support column piece 1 again reduced, rotates around the piece of hot air tube 24 in the position according to figure 3.

From figure 7 representing a view of the face 18 of the supply head 15 with the tubing 19, is it follows that the pipes 19 are arranged in two groups separated from each other.

Now, the supply tubes 20 can be to fold, so that they are located in the container section of reception 21 shaped like a bucket. Since these tubes of supply 20 are arranged in two groups separated from each other, as can be deduced from figure 7, these can be deposited to both sides of the hot air tube part 24 in the section of receptacle 21 shaped like a bucket, as follows of figure 8.

Reference is again made to Figure 1. In the housing 7 is a device 9 for air generation hot and a device 11 for steam generation. The air hot is transported through the turbine wheel 10 to the hot air tube part 24.

This device 11 for steam generation features an ultrasonic sprayer 14 with a membrane vibratory Such devices are themselves known.

From device 11 for the generation of steam develops a section of steam tube 26 for the section of treatment head 12. Especially in figure 1 it is possible to see that this section of steam tube 26 penetrates obliquely in the piece of hot air pipe 24 through an area inside the head of supply 15. Consequently, an injection pump is formed in the hot air transported by the turbine wheel 10 It serves as a propellant for steam. This means that the steam is swept away by hot air and therefore transported by hot air to the supply head 15.

The device 11 for steam generation it has a water container 13 in which the sprayer is arranged ultrasonic 14. In this water container 13 can be introduced different additives for hair treatment. For example, at water in the water container 13 can be added a product that Neutralize the smell of a permanent product.

Therefore, the product is in the water inside the container 13. In operation, the water is evaporates with the product and flows like cold steam to the section of treatment head 12, since steam is carried by the air to the jet nozzle. Supply head 15 is is in the position according to which the exit holes 17 are face 16 against the head of the person whose hair is about. Therefore, an air shower results from so that the aforementioned product flows to the hair that has previously been treated with a permanent product, so that now produces a neutralization of the smell of the permanent product.

The device 9 for air generation hot is equipped with an additional hot air tube 27, see Figure 5. In this additional hot air tube 27 you can attach a ventilated hair brush with a known design that It can be operated separately.

The supply head 15 is also surrounded by an annular shaped support piece 28 which is joined by fixed shape to the supply head 15.

In this support piece 28 emitters are arranged of infrared radiation 29 as heat sources. There are also reading lamps 30. Figure 6 shows separately this support piece 28. It should be mentioned that the emitters of infrared radiation 29 and reading lamps 30 are arranged by  those faces 16 of the supply head 15 in which they find the exit holes 17.

In housing 7 or in the column piece of support 1 two support arms are articulated in an articulated manner 31 that separate laterally. These support arms 31 support other infrared radiation emitters 32 that are arranged so that are oriented laterally against the head or the area of the line of the person to be treated. If these other radiation emitters Infrared 32 are not used, they can be folded up by their articulation points 33 to an alternative position.

At the lower end of the column piece of support 1 there is also a device 34 for sterilization of hair treatment equipment, for example, brushes, curlers, etc.
